Mk5 GTI No2 - Hybrid Turbo 340/340

<< < (2/9) > >>

Greigzy:
So used it for the first full week and have done around 350 miles returning about 36 MPG which is pretty good.

Got my plates on:







Got a bargain from Chinese Ebay with a £12 red stitched handbrake gaiter (for the complete sleeve). Just need a matching gear gaiter:



And fitted a polo 6R aerial I had sitting about:



Also ordered some rear footwell lights and door light looms along with an LED reversing light (handy for reversing in the pitch dark with me) from boldsport.

Lovely car - love the Tornado Red (partly cos I have one).

I've also got the Edition 30 interior in mine with the matching gear gaiter and steering wheel. Just missing the leather door cards (and an armrest).

Greigzy:
A few changes! I'll start with tonights!

A local forum user kindly offered his friends BBS SR's 18x8 in exchange for any 5x112 alloys + £100, as the car was being traded in tomorrow! Could say no! They came with a set of week old Michelin Pilot sports and Bridgestones that have about 5mm tread :)







I dont think the photos do them justice, and the fronts sit a little high, nothing these cant fix:



They are hooring dirty, but are a set of KW V1 Inox :)



Also fitted a CTS intake for mad sook sook noises.



Should go nice with my Airtec FMIC and Golf R intercooler.

Gmac:
Looking forward to seeing these wheels in the flesh!!  Some nice touches as always Greigzy! :happy2:

Greigzy:
A busy few days on the golf. Now that Open Uni is finished for the summer, it has given me a lot of free time to play about with cars again, meaning I could start working through the pars hoard:



Items fitted were the following:

Rev G diverter Valve

New PCV and gasket

Relocation of diverter valve to K04 position using OEM piping etc

S3 short shifter

ECS tuning rear dogbone mount

S3 intercooler

Airtec front mounted cooler











Putting it back together, I repolished the headlights off the car (REALLY wanted to fit xenons but have spent enough this month) and a repro front bumper with smooth plate, until I get my real bumper repainted.





Car feels a lot better - far smooth, faster (obviously) and actually better mpg too. I do think the 2 biggest improvements are down to the S3 short shift and the ECS mount though

Also 2 more quick pics

1. coming over Glenshee on the way home from the girlfriends:



2. A friends birthday present to me - a custom print from his side venture Performance Prints - he can customise the drawings to your wheels and mods etc too :)
